My demonstration wasn’t meant to be a final result – only a proof-of-concept of getting any film (including fade, bleached, different film stock) to look like the original “technicolor film”. (Normally, I would’ve posted the aim and procedure in detail, but didn’t due to my present time constraints [I hate when that happens]. Sorry if my abridge presentation didn’t convey that.) Of course, if used, the project team would fine-tune that approach for their desired result. Considering this is a Disney film, one would expect powerful colors and I would think Technicolor did just that.

The particular look of Technicolor is due to it’s use of independent color filters with a tighter primary-colors range than those embedded into the film itself, which were wider spectrum that produced a relatively muddier result.

Check out The American WideScreen Museum: Technicolor for the fascinating history and details of Technicolor.
